It's only Love
It's only Love
It's only Love
That makes me whole

Take me on a journey
To the bottom of your soul
Take me on a journey
While we're on the dance floor

I don't mind
You see I don't care
You've got a thousand chances
While we're out of here

Take me to the land
Of millions dances
Come on and
Let me Love me, Love me

Come on and
Love me, Love me, Love me
Come on and
Let me Love me, Love me

Move, move, move, move
Till you can't see
Close you eyes
Till you're swept up in the mystery
I don't need nothing but you and music
Take me, take me, take me

It's only Love [repeat 6x]

Come on and let me Love
Me, Love me
Come on and Love me, Love me, Love me
Come on and let me Love me, Love me
Come on and let me love me, love me
[Repeat 3x]

Take me down to land of the thousand dances
Take me down to the land of the thousand dreams
Take me down to the land of the thousand dances
Make me, make me dream

Let me be me
Let me be free
Let me be free
Let me be me

You're Loving, Loving me now [2x]

[repeat 5x]

Dancin' and Dancin'
Dancin' and Dancin' all night long
Dancin' and Dancin'
It's only Love that makes me whole

As the unquestioned queen of disco, the one and only Donna Summer lit up the late 70s and 80s with flashy, exuberant vocals and automatic earworms. Born LaDonna Adrian Gaines on Dec. 31, 1948, Summer moved to Germany after being cast in a Munich production of Hair. There, she happened to meet Giorgio Moroder and Pete Bellotte, and the trio conglomerated to form a dynamic music team. With Moroder, Summer forged together her first album, The Hostage, which reached moderate success in Northern Europe. Summer’s big break, however, would come later with the release of 1975’s sexual “Love to Love You Baby”, which became one of disco’s first mainstream hits and reached #2 on the Billboard Charts.

1977 came around with the concept album I Remember Yesterday, which featured the Top 10 single “I Feel Love”. The next year, Summer hit the silver screen with the movie Thank God It’s Friday, whose soundtrack featured one of her own the iconic “Last Dance.” This would later become one of the disco legends' signature songs. “Dance” would take home an Academy Award for Best Original Song, a Grammy, and a Golden Globe, and it jumped to a peak of #3 on the charts.

Yet Summer’s illustrious career was far from finished – Summer’s first live album Live and More featured the single “MacArthur Park”, a melting ballad that was a cover of the Jimmy Webb ballad of the same name. “Park” became Summer’s first – and perhaps most memorable – No. 1 hit, and cemented her status as a vocalist as well as a performer. With the track, she became the first female in modern rock history to hold the top spot in both the Hot 100 and the Billboard 200. 1979, though, would really be the peak of her career.
